There wasn't even a defined ecumenical list of what books were proper in Christendom until the Council of Trent in the 1500s.

I know what you are saying. A good friend of mine who has taken about 10 years worth of biblical/historical studies in this area did an extensive research project on this very subject. I wish I still had a copy of it because it gave a very strong arguement to the fact that the bible is incredibly similar to what was first written. If I find it I will definitly post key points from it, because I can't do a good job of explaining it.
The Bible I read, I believe is final. When did the Book of Mormon get created? Wasn't it in the 60's?
